Description

The method of applying coating on silicone hydrogel lens
The present invention relates to a kind of hydrophilic polymer that on the siloxanes aquogel contact lens, applies to improve the method for its wetting ability and oilness.In addition, the present invention provides a kind of siloxanes aquogel contact lens with hydrophilic coating of good integrity and weather resistance.
Background of invention
In recent years, soft siloxanes aquogel contact lens, for example, Focus NIGHT&DAY TMAnd O2OPTIX TM(all from CIBA VISION) and PureVision TM(bausch & lomb) is because their high oxygen permeability and comfortableness become becomes more and more popular.Closely the fit shape of eyeball of " soft " contact lens is so oxygen can not easily surround lens.Soft-contact lens must allow oxygen to arrive cornea from ambient air (that is, oxygen), and this is because cornea can not resemble other tissue from blood supply reception oxygen.If enough oxygen can not arrive cornea, then expanding appears in cornea.Anoxic causes the unfavorable growth of blood tissues in cornea for a long time.Through having high oxygen permeability, the siloxanes aquogel contact lens allows enough oxygen to be penetrated into cornea via lens, and corneal health has minimum disadvantageous effect.
But the siloxanes aquogel material has water repellent surface usually or at least a portion surf zone is hydrophobic (can not be wetted).On the water repellent surface or hydrophobic surface regions that is adsorbed to the siloxanes aquogel contact lens from the lipoid or the protein of eyes environment.The water repellent surface of siloxanes aquogel contact lens or hydrophobic surface regions make it attached on the eyes.Therefore, the siloxanes aquogel contact lens generally needs surface-treated to improve surface hydrophilicity.The high surface hydrophilicity of the LbL coating on contact lens and oilness can be improved wearer's comfortableness and/or eye health.
The hydrophobic known method that improves the higher contact lens material of hydrophobicity is to use plasma treatment, for example commercial lens, for example Focus NIGHT&DAY TMAnd O2OPTIX TM(all from CIBA VISION) and PureVision TM(bausch & lomb).Plasma-coated advantage is its weather resistance, higher wetting ability (or good wettability) and to lipoid and proteinic low tolerance deposition with absorb.But the plasma treatment of siloxanes aquogel contact lens is not that cost is effective, and this is because the ready-formed contact lens must be dry before the plasma treatment, with because the higher fund input relevant with plasma processing.
The another kind of hydrophilic method of improving the higher contact lens material of hydrophobicity is that layer polyion property material deposition technique that suffers layer (LbL) is (referring to for example US patent 6,451,871,6,717,929,6; 793,973,6,884,457,6,896; 926,6,926,965,6,940,580).Though this technology can provide cost effectively to make the wetted method of siloxanes aquogel material ability; But this method needs the step of long time and complicacy to apply the LbL hydrophilic coating, and this is coated with course siloxanes aquogel contact lens and gives wetting ability and oilness.The disclosed method that the LbL coating is coated onto on the siloxanes aquogel contact lens can not make the surface have required wetting ability, oilness, weather resistance and/or full surface coverage (that is integrity).

Known that the last motion of the eye that needs lens exchanges to guarantee good tears, and finally guaranteed good corneal health.Ion permeability is that eye is gone up one of indication parameter that moves, and this is because the ionic perviousness is considered to directly and the perviousness of water is proportional.
At US 6,451, find need not carry out the pre-treatment of complicated and time consumption in 871 to the core material surface for polyion property polymeric materials is combined make the medical device surface charging before with core material.Through simply with or the solution that makes medical device (for example contact lens) core material and first kind of polyion property polymeric materials contact with having with the solution of second kind of polyion property polymeric materials of first kind of polyion property polymeric materials opposite charges, can on medical device, form the surface property of multilayer LbL coating with the core material of improvement medical device.
Be surprised to find now, the temperature of coating solution with coating of hydrophobic backbone has remarkably influenced to wetting ability, integrity and the weather resistance that does not have covalently bound LbL coating to the contact lens.Along with the temperature of coating solution raises, the wetting ability of the gained coating on contact lens is strong (for example littler water contact angle), more complete (for example significantly still less or do not have sudan black dyeing), weather resistance better (can or repeat to press the heat experiment through the finger frictional experiment) more.Based on these beat all discoveries, developed a kind of improved LbL coating method, this method can with cost effectively and fast mode on contact lens, prepare the LbL coating of the wetting ability with raising, good integrity and excellent durability.
On the one hand; The present invention provides a kind of hydrophilic coating is coated to the method on the siloxanes aquogel contact lens; This method comprises: contact lens is contacted with first coating solution of temperature for about 45-95 ℃; Thereby form and the non-covalent undercoat that is connected of contact lens, wherein first coating solution comprises the polyion material with first hydrophobic backbone and a plurality of ionizable or charged side group, and wherein undercoat contains at least one strata ionic material; (b) said contact lens is contacted with second coating solution of temperature for about 45-95 ℃; Thereby on undercoat, form finishing coat; Wherein second coating solution contains the uncharged hydrophilic polymer with second hydrophobic backbone, and wherein finishing coat contains one deck hydrophilic polymer at least.

The integrity of the coating on surface in contact can detect according to following sudan black dyeing experiment.The contact lens of coating (LbL coating, plasma-coated, or any other coating) is immersed in the sudan black dye solution (sudan black vitamin E oil).The sudan black dyestuff is hydrophobic, and has the strong trend that is absorbed by hydrophobic material, or is adsorbed to the hydrophobicity lens surface or is positioned at the strong trend (for example siloxanes aquogel contact lens) on the lip-deep hydrophobic point of partial coating of hydrophobicity lens.If the coating on the hydrophobicity lens is complete, then should not observe stain on lens or in the lens.All lens that carry out this experiment are complete hydrations.
The coating durability experiment
Lens are pointed friction 30 times with
